Gondola buffering system LOOP

High-performance gondola buffering system for buffer and product flow control in the food sector

The LOOP-GB gondola buffering system is suitable for a wide range of pre-packed or unpacked products and features a large and variable size range. It guarantees gentle product handling by reducing gondola vibration and consistently helping to prevent mechanical forces act on the product. The gondola buffer system harmonises incoming product flows depending on its positioning in the feeding and distribution system, and adjusts them as required. This counterbalances output fluctuations in the downstream packaging area, enables brief temporary holding of products and prevents the packaging machines from overflowing.

The LOOP-GB can also be used to feed packaging machines directly or interlink various levels within a production facility. By uncoupling the moulding unit and the packaging machine, the overall line performance and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) are considerably increased compared to a coupled process. The LOOP-GB’s feeding and discharge rate of up to 160 rows a minute represents worldclass performance in the industry.
